These damn recruiters keep insisting on manager references and I keep telling them they won't provide a reference.
How have folks circumvented this? I'm in a catch-22 where I can't give them a reference, yet they keep insisting it's necessary, no matter how many times I tell them to go to theworknumber.com.
I've had to dig out references from years back from people who no longer work at WF, but that's slim pickings.
No pigeonhole this All Hands call she wants us to email questions directly to a mailbox so she doesn’t get harsh questions.
I’ve been an employee of Optum for quite some time. I was recently contacted by a journalist who would like to ask me some questions about how the organization works and my personal experiences. Think I should talk to him?
This is actually becoming pathetic. You can’t get the data on time, never mind right. People’s employment is tied to this stupid report, Jay. Get it right.
Are the gates at the FSC up or down today?
Who the he|| designed a new support page?!
Unreadable.
Data needed hidden.
Favourites lost.
Productivity decreased
Pretty bad when a company doesn’t trust its own employees, managers, senior directors that everything is monitored—-in excel lol
Yes, excel spreadsheets! lol sometimes even MS Forms.
Let’s suffocate the employees and ridicule their every move then wonder why the business is failing. People who micro manager have no business as managers, more so, no business as a director, senior director, especially the VP positions. All this goes to deaf ears. Let’s make another “anonymous” employee survey.

Ex-Schwabbie here. If you are dissatisfied with work conditions, pay, treatment from leadership I would highly encourage you to check out the NLRA. It gives private sector non-supervisory employees the right to discuss such issues on social media, teams, a huddle, or even a screen saver. These are rights guaranteed regardless if you are part of a union or not. Check out the definitions of concerted activity. You have the right to bring up these questions and concerns to your leaders. If they retaliate then you have yourself a very strong legal case. Retaliation includes your work (phone calls) being more scrutinized than that of your peers. There is a reason Schwab doesn't train you on the NLRA.
It sounds like A LOT of IM & NI are being given out this year and from what I'm hearing, not for any real reason. But how is this going to look to the regulators, when the majority of team members have sh---y ratings? Maybe it's not an issue? I'm genuinely curious. If I was a regulator looking at risk or compliance and half the team has sh---y ratings, you'd think that make the "firm" look bad? Maybe not, just curious.
In my time with the company, the SPTO bid has always been around November. We could request our scheduled time off for the whole 12 months of the upcoming New Year. We work in a site that is closing. They are only allowing us to schedule in quarterly increments. So far we've only been able to schedule through the end of March. Is this an indication the site we work in is closing this year in 2026? We are sorry to ask here, but nobody talks about it at work.
Were you honest with the latest Glint Survey that came out today for the all staff meeting next week?
I was, and will it impact me future? If it does then I know for sure this company is not the last place I will ever work.
Here is what I heard from today`s Town Hall:
Edward Jones made a change at year end to investment choices in the 401k.
While Suzan and her s$@t HR function did the bare minimum to communicate these changes through the 401k provider (Empower), it was buried under annual disclosures and most of home office and the field were caught completely unaware that the company made new investment choices on their behalf (Really great precedent for a company managing CLIENT investments, right!?).
Not sure I am surprised at all given the character of this company and its leaders, but just a friendly reminder to be sure to check on your 401k.
When will we pass this painful kidney stone called MW?
Layoffs are underway at Hayden Beverage, a beverage distributor with locations across Idaho and Montana, according to employees who spoke anonymously. One worker said they received a one-month severance package and were told their last day would be Feb. 8. Employees described the news as unexpected, noting the company had generally treated them well. Another employee said the layoffs come after Hayden Beverage was acquired by Summit Beverage, a purchase later confirmed by a company official.

The lack of transparency on this is outrageous. The amount of people that need to approve just one review is excessive and adds weeks of unnecessary delay to an already slow process.
Why do you need 3 people to approve 1 review when there is limited salary increase, lack of promotions and no morale?
Have a situation and have not had annual review yet, but pointed out unethical, immoral and possible illegal acts of our executive to my manager and their one up manager late in year.... sent via email and of course nothing was responded to in writing but called me back via teams and was told to never send something like that via email again..
I think I might be rewarded with inconsistantly meets or do not meets because of these actions...
Anyone have any experience reporting something like this?
Go on…be honest
As someone who is not an employee but is worried, I'd appreciate if you all can share what's happening day to day. Hoping this thread continues, I am just initiating for today .
Why? No one is masochist forever, right?
The CEM tool in ServiceNow is just something to keep you busy and something you can get in trouble for if you don't enter your time. They use it under the guise of wanting to know what you're working on. But when you're assigned to one customer and bill your time in GPS against that customer, you know what I'm working on. The kicker on this tool is that you can't show more than 40 hours in a week against it. God forbid you actually show real hours you work, then there might be a lawsuit to pay management overtime!! It's just a time waster, and honestly, they don't track it. I didn't hear any issues until the end of the year, when I had a gap in time on the tool.
You all can post on this site every minute of every day and it won’t make a difference.
You want the public The analyst? that rate DXC n the financial markets to know what’s really is going on with. moral , non-existence merit pay increases
Then hit them where it will be seen , Pist in their social media posts, Linkedin in etc.
I have an am starting to get a lot more likes (people stepping up) than I did 2 years ago.
Also if you hate your employer so much , why are you still there, afraid to get another Job , don’t have the skills required, comfortable (i was and stayed 13 years with 2 pay increases)
Why she is not updating her LI profile? Is she still at Nike?
...of my former co workers and fellow ex-empkoyees.
Except for the current and former executives and board members. May you all rot in the he-l your soulless carcasses deserve.
I am sending warm holiday greetings and a big hug to all of our customers and managers like the HR leader helping us on this board. You have been with us and donated time and comments to help us. Some customers also hit them in their pocket book to stand with us. I am a single mom who feels disrespected and totally frightened and your help is really gratifying and loved by us all. Happy holidays to all of you who stand with us! I saw a nice email from the CEO wishing us happy holidays and it was nicely written. Maybe the grinch’s heart is warming and the changes we need in the changing of bad leaders will come in January. I am hoping for that more than anything.
What’s the point of anything?
Did this post somehow catch your eye?
Is it making you stop to think? Feeling the need to comment?
Does it resonate with you some way?
Moral compromises?
Are you lying to yourself?
Deep down, gut feeling, do you know you are doing something wrong?
No fear of what is to come next?
Remember we are but a blip on the timeline.
Looks like you made it this far.
Maybe this post is the reminder or push you need to turn around your soul rot.
Is your soul rotting at U.S. Bank?
His body language was off and he glossed over the questions with one line replies, especially to the question on what the regulators have said or done since the last time they visited Citi.
and Why did E Drew throw the former leadership under the bus and was boastful about the data catalog (which is just a retooled version from a vendor I believe?) and other very average things that her huge team of 50+ have 'delivered'?

Anyone have any inside scoop? It does impact long term employees.
Do something about it. Make yourself heard. Drop specific names and hold them accountable.

These mo--ns are working among us. Let that sink in.
My mouse cursor suddenly disappeared on the screen and will not come back on.
This is surely a sign from God that my workday is finished.
I don't see how they are going to replace the workforce with AI when we can't even get 50 year old technology working as it should anymore...
Does anyone else find it strange there is no HR dept to contact? Its all askhr. How do we even file a concern or complaint anonymously?
Did everyone get a “special message” invite on Friday 12/29 in Ambetter?? Kind of freaking out!
I get it, times are tough here at AT&T. You might live really far away from a hub and now you have to drive for hours to get here. Maybe you are even sleeping in the parking lot over night. I feel for you. But for the love of God, if you are going to be hotboxing cigs for hours in your car, keep some fresh clothes in a bag and think about using the showers on the first floor. No one should have to smell you all day long.
..about your career.
I tried to get a meeting with him to discuss my business at Apollo and was told "the earliest he has available is three weeks out". Yet the guy post on LinkedIn everyday where he is attending some bs HR boondoggle, receiving some paid for award as the best HR guy. Why don't we do a survey inside about HR. I think HR is one of the most unresponsive, arrogant group of employees who actually think they run the business. In fact, Matthew told one of my colleagues he could our CEOs job. What a joke!
Well, 2025 is almost over. It's time to revisit the 2025 predictions and make new ones for 2026.
I don't really know which rule the predictions thread violated, but the original 2025 Predictions thread disappeared after being up for a really long time. Not sure what happened there. Someone partially resurrected it here: https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k38aeyac
So, weigh in on which predictions were right, and make some new predictions for 2026.
